Las restricciones de tráfico en este Domingo de Ramos incluyen el corte del acceso al Casco Antiguo desde las 8:00 horas por Puerta de Valencia y desde las 10:00 horas por Puente de la Trinidad. Estos horarios de corte pueden modificarse según la afluencia de público, adelantándose si es necesario por razones de seguridad. Una vez finalizada la procesión, el corte de tráfico se mantendrá hasta que la afluencia de público permita la reapertura.
En cuanto al transporte urbano, la línea 1 tendrá salidas desde la estación de autobuses en dirección a la estación del AVE Fernando Zóbel de 10:00 a 15:00 horas, mientras que la línea 2 se suprimirá de 10:30 a 15:00 horas. Las líneas 5 y 6 hacia el centro comercial El Mirador se desviarán por calle San Ignacio de Loyola de 10:00 a 12:30 horas. No habrá servicio de tren turístico.
El Plan de Seguridad de Semana Santa, con unos 400 efectivos, incluye la presencia del Cuerpo Municipal de Bomberos en el barrio del Castillo, un espacio de atención sanitaria de Cruz Roja y un Punto Violeta de 18:00 a 23:00 horas. Se reforzará la vigilancia por parte de Policía Nacional y Guardia Civil, así como la seguridad privada. Se han instalado más aseos portátiles en los recorridos procesionales y se han ampliado los horarios de algunos baños públicos. According to the Local Police report, these closure hours may be modified depending on the influx of people, advancing as required for safety reasons. Once the procession is over, traffic will remain closed until the influx of people in the Old Town allows for its reopening.
